Lift Curtain Machines

In general, utilize a high gear ratio and are intended for auditorium lift curtains such as Austrian curtains, Contour curtains, Brail curtains and Waterfall curtains. A magnetic brake is used to minimize the drift of the curtain. An auditorium lift machine typically moves the curtain at a somewhat slower speed than an auditorium draw machine. Top masking, gym divider, and similar lift machines generally operate quite slowly.
Upon request, it is possible to increase the lifting speed with special drums, gear reduction units and variable speed drives. Altering the speed affects other characteristics of the machine and, therefore, must be designed on a per project basis.
In addition to being designated for specific purposes, ADC curtain machines are also classified according to versatility within each category of use.
